Question to the group:

Is this a problem inherent only to the Boxster? Perhaps I should sell mine and buy a 911??

ALL 986 and 996s have the same engine casting flaw. Im also starting to see a rising trend on the newer 987s.

Regarding the talk of lawsuits, I would not recommend it because they've heard it before -blah-blah-blah and unless a person is willing to back it up with real legal action, it just makes someone look plain silly. To get a class action is not as simple as it seems. The tough challenge is to get the Court to certify the representative plaintiffs as a class and then what? Who's going to front the costs for notifying ALL the potential class members?

I feel for you!

My '01 had lost it's first heart in the dealership (thank g-d). At 75kms, Massive Engine failure.

Melbourne Porsche replaced the engine (saw it come out the crate!) and delivered my new car with a new thumper!

At the time, I asked if it was common and they said "It has happened before"????

Give Porsche a shove, they may fold? Their reputation (Germans) means alot to them if you get my drift.

Good Luck!!!!!
